I don't post here often anymore, but I just had to being the huge John Cena fan that I am. Not sure how rare it was going to end up being, so I had to jump on it while I had the chance. Everyone remembers this gear for his Royal Rumble 2008 win and wondered why he came with the WWE Championship, but he actually had this gear right before No Mercy where Orton took him out on the announce table. He didn't have the matching wristbands, but he did have the belt with this shirt and hat. I'm a Cena nerd, so yeah I know this. There are now so many previous Cena attires I want to see Mattel redo using the new hat, wristband and arm band molds along with these new shoes. I always thought Mattel dropped the ball with Cena in a lot of ways whether it was scans or molds or weird articulation. This is the best Cena figure Mattel has ever made. I'd snag it if you're on the fence. The UE figures seem to be fetching crazy value if that's what you're in it for because the vast majority I know don't care for John Cena at all.       |

Totally agreed. My #1 want is John Cena from WrestleMania 21. If their generic 54 jersey was their version of the Chain Gang jersey, shame on Mattel.  |

The definitive Cena in my opinion.

I had the chance to grab one of these off the 'bay and (with a bit of assistance) did so. I'm beyond thrilled. I was waiting all this time for *the* Cena figure to add to my collection and now I have it. I've never before had the desire to photo-pose a wrestling figure before, but I really just want to go wild with this one. True God-Tier figure in my opinion.
Also, while the event this attire is mostly known from didn't include the belt, I think we can all agree this figure would have been incomplete without it. If I had any gripe at all about this figure, it's that I wish they had done a better job of sculpting the W on the spinner. The gold/silver paint blends together too much. But that's like the tiniest of nitpicks and it isn't even about the figure itself.
Only Cena I'll ever need.

 Yep loved Ultimate Cena figure as soon as I got it when it was first released a a couple days before the July 4th weekend and I had never owned a Cena figure looks like if you know what your doing you might be able to update some of the old Cena too |

Still needed a rubber/plastic shirt, for the back design.

Still needed a rubber/plastic shirt, for the back design. Hell yeah, the rabid dog face was the best part of this shirt. For $30, I still feel like they could’ve included a back design on the cloth shirt or at least made the shirt baggier especially in the sleeves. The sculpted wristbands have been long overdue. Gotta love that texture they included. |

I wasn't sold on this until I saw this post. I do want at least one John Cena, and I think this would be the one.

My personal favourite is the lime green attire with the head swap from this one but yet, there are now some dynamite Cena figures out there! |

Just received my Cena order from Amazon and it is missing the wrist band from the upper bicep. Sucks especially since it’s no longer in stock =(. Incredible figure regardless. Was going to display with the shirt on so I guess it’s not a big deal.

I got a Nation 2-pack with Rock missing an elbow pad, and they sent me a free figure. In other cases, where parts have been broken, they've sent me a cheque for the cost of the item. |

I wasn’t going to get this as I wanted to do just flashbacks for ultimates and didn’t really consider this a flashback by my definition but it’s awesome
